How many Calories per cardio workout?

[dragon183]

What is a good calorie count per cardio session?? I usually try to get around 300/400 on stair climber or stationary bike. Was just wondering what the norm is to burn fat, but not past the point of burning muscle. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!!

its not so much the calorie count but how long u keep your target heart up...usally around 45minutes 4 times a week is great, if your cutting than bump it up just a bit.

I usally burn around 400-500 cals per session but those things vary machine to machine...
